THE looseness of the English civil ser
vice is shown by the recent discovery
that pension has been paid for thirty
five years after death of the person en-
titled to it. An officer retired from the
customs service in 1845 at the age of 81,
and lived for seven years afterwards.
His widow went as usual for the money.
and received it during her own period of
survival of twenty-three years; and even
then, when the deceased officer, had he
lived 80 long, would have been 81, the
daughter was enabled to enter into the
inheritance without difficulty, and enjoy
it for twelve years.

APrea1dent,a Pardon.

The President of the United States has
acted upon the applications for the par
don OF number of convicted criminals.
The most important case is that of Thos.
Ballard, a notorious counterfeiter, who
was sentenced January 81, 1875, to 80
years Imprisonment in the Albany peni-
Tertiary. The President granted him a
pardon. He says the prisoner was sup
posed to be one OF the most expert coun-
terfeiters in the country. He had been
years, allowing for the deduction he has
secured for good behavior. He has
grown to be an old man, broken down
physically and mentally. His conduct

zens, and the officials who were con-
cerned in his conviction His wife, who
has chung to him with true woman's de-
votion all these years, and who has
almost worn herself out in her efforts to
support and educate her daughter, Just
now reaching womanhood, pleads for the
erring and penitent husbands release.
There is universal belief on the part of
those acquainted with the case that the
prisoners reformation is complete. and
that In no circumstances could this
broken down man, whose mind is fast
living away with his body, be menace
to society if liberated, 81 am of the
opinion" says the President, ''that in
this case the laws have been fully vim
dicated."

Comments by a Drummer.

Commercial travellers are not the free
living lords of creation that humorist
writer's are accustomed to describe AS
class, l believe, they earn the lowest
salaries of any responsible element of
the commercial community. If you
were to size up the entire membership
of any of the travelling mems associa-
tons, think you would find that the
average salary would not be more than
$1,000 a year. Some few get $4,000
and expenses, and very small number
run over that amount. They are worked
without consideration of health or cir
cumstances, and the systematic manner
in which their accounts are audited will
not permit very wide range from the
actual expense account. Knocking
down is out of the question, and while
you may be able to conceal shaving and
bootblack work in sundries, you can
not go beyond that without provoking
inquiry. A single man can probably
save $40 month on personal living ex-
penses by being on the road, but he
must pay room rent in, the city while he
is away. A married man estimates his
savings on household expenses while on
the road at about $25 month, and
thaADis the very best that he can do.
Economy teaches him to live close at
home and abroad. -St, Louis Globe
